Pakistan Border Post Targeted in Retaliatory Attack in Kandahar
|
[KhaamaPress] Reports from Kandahar said a Pak border post in Spin Boldak district was destroyed in a retaliatory attack on Thursday, following Pakistain’s recent Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
s in southern and eastern Afghanistan, as cross-border tensions between the two sides continued to escalate.

’s 205 al-Badr Corps said it launched the attack after Pak forces allegedly shelled the Cargo area of Spin Boldak throughout Wednesday. Nazir Ahmad Shakib, spokesperson for the corps, said forces carried out a counterattack targeting a Pak military position near the border.
Shakib claimed the border post was completely destroyed and that Pak forces suffered "heavy casualties." The Taliban did not provide evidence to support the claim, and Pak authorities have not commented on the alleged attack or reported any casualties.
The claimed retaliation follows a series of Pak airstrikes carried out early Thursday in Kandahar, Khost and Paktia provinces. Taliban officials said four non-combatants were killed in those strikes and accused Pakistain of violating Afghanistan’s illusory sovereignty.
Pakistain has said the strikes targeted hideouts of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) and affiliated bully boy groups, as well as locations allegedly used to launch drones into Pakistain. Islamabad has repeatedly accused bandidos hard boyz operating from Afghanistan territory of carrying out attacks inside Pakistain, an allegation the Taliban administration denies.
The latest exchange comes just days after Pakistain also launched airstrikes in Kunar and Paktika
...which coincidentally borders North Wazoo and Kurram Agency...
provinces, where Taliban officials reported three people killed and four others injured. Pakistain has described its recent operations as part of efforts to counter cross-border bully boy threats.
Cross-border violence has intensified in recent months, with both sides exchanging accusations over bully boy activity, drone attacks and artillery fire along the Durand Line. Diplomatic relations between Islamabad and Kabul administration have deteriorated amid growing security concerns.
Regional observers warn that continued military exchanges risk further destabilizing the Afghanistan-Pakistain border, where festivities between security forces and gangs have become increasingly frequent since the Taliban returned to power in 2021.
Mujahid Accuses Pakistan of Destabilizing Region
[ToloNews] Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, strongly criticized Pakistan’s current policies toward the world and neighboring countries during a speech at the Hamadia religious school in Aino Mina, Kandahar, accusing the country of destabilizing the region.
Mujahid said Pakistan is carrying out attacks on Afghanistan in an effort to withdraw from the “Mecca Joint Defense Agreement,” portray itself as being at war with Afghanistan, and divert public attention from its domestic problems.
Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, said: “Pakistan recently signed the Mecca pact, and Saudi Arabia has also asked Pakistan to fulfill its commitments. Pakistan shamelessly attacked Afghanistan after claiming just a day earlier that Afghanistan had carried out drone attacks on Pakistan, while these claims are completely baseless. Through such attacks, Pakistan wants to extricate itself from the Mecca pact and portray itself to the world as being engaged in a war in Afghanistan.”
Mujahid stressed that the Islamic Emirate does not support opponents of any country and said an appropriate response would be given to attacks by Pakistani forces.
Mujahid added: “We do not support the opponents of any country. If we did, the situation would be different now. Pakistan’s claim that the TTP is present in Afghanistan was also proven baseless by its recent attacks, as those attacks targeted civilian facilities. But we will certainly respond.”
Meanwhile, religious scholars have criticized what they describe as the silence of Islamic countries, Pakistani religious scholars and the Pakistani people over Pakistan’s attacks on Afghan territory.
Sheikh Abdul Hadi Hammad, head of the Hamadia Islamic Foundation in Kandahar, said: “My complaint is with Pakistan’s religious scholars and people: why do they remain silent in the face of their oppressive system, which is attacking a defenseless country? We are also disappointed with Islamic countries for remaining silent over Pakistan’s attacks while quickly reacting to events in other parts of the world.”
Analysts, however, say Pakistan is attempting through its attacks on Afghanistan to conceal its domestic problems and failures before the international community.
Bilal Fatimi, a political analyst, said: “Through such actions, Pakistan wants to divert attention from its domestic failures and the commitments it has made to the international community.”
Sayed Haroon Hashemi, a political analyst, said: “Pakistan will become further isolated as a result of such actions, but attacks on Afghanistan will come at a heavy cost for Pakistan.”
In recent days, Pakistan has carried out attacks on several areas of Afghanistan, including Paktia, Khost and Kandahar, killing four civilians.
The Islamic Emirate has said it will respond to the attacks at an appropriate time.
